AI-Powered Discovery
Our integrated machine-learning algorithms and single-tenant architecture make search smarter, review easier and discovery less expensive.
Welcome to the Next Generation of Search, Investigation and Discovery.
Taking Discovery to the Next Level
We’re taking Search to the next level by combining the familiarity of keywords with the speed and power of artificial intelligence. Our next-generation discovery platform, Sherlock Integrated Search, integrates smart, machine-learning algorithms with keyword search to make finding documents faster, easier and less costly than using keywords alone.
We’re also taking Security to the next level with our Single-Tenant Architecture. And Value to the next level through our unique Cloud Utility Pricing, It offers substantial savings on hosting costs by allowing you to take the system offline when you don’t need it, or schedule downtime during off hours.
Our ultimate goal was to provide a new and better way to find information for investigations, discovery, early case assessment and other matters involving large quantities of documents.
Find More, Faster, Easier and For Less!

Making Search Smarter
Our new investigation and discovery platform, Sherlock® Integrated Search, is built around a set of smart, machine-learning algorithms designed to help you find relevant information in large document sets. Our algorithms integrate seamlessly with keyword search to make it quicker, easier and less costly to find relevant information.
Sherlock is the world’s first digital document bloodhound and the heart of our Search 2.0 software platform. While AI isn’t new to ediscovery, Sherlock’s speed and scalability is. In milliseconds, he can analyze documents you send and find others for further review. Fast and scalable, Sherlock can rank a million documents in 100 milliseconds, literally the blink of an eye. And he can scale to the hundreds of millions of documents on a single server.
Sherlock eliminates the need to craft complex keyword searches. Instead, we’ve programmed Sherlock to key off your judgments–retrieving relevant documents faster, more easily and at lower costs than was ever possible with keyword search alone.
Just click “Thumbs Up” and let Sherlock do the rest, quickly and effectively finding relevant documents to further your investigation or review. He will be a game changer for investigations, discovery and other document-intensive fields.
Sherlock works like Pandora, only when you click “Thumbs Up” he finds great documents rather than great music.
Watch as Sherlock analyzes a single document and then finds other relevant documents in the blink-of-an-eye. “Thumbs-up”or “thumbs-down” keeps him on track to identify more relevant documents.
Keyword search is one of the worst ways to find information in large document populations. Sherlock allows you to find great documents quickly and easily, without mastering keyword search syntax.
Making Sites More Secure


Secure Your Data with Single-Tenant Architecture
Unique Single-Tenant Architecture
Sherlock Integrated Search was purpose-built for the AWS Cloud. Knowing how important security is to our clients, we chose a single-tenant architecture that would allow us to offer a range of customizable security options for security, backup and disaster recovery.
Each site sits in its own VPC (Virtual Private Cloud), using dedicated encryption keys to protect all data at-rest, and to make sure client data cannot accidentally be accessed by others.
Our single-tenant architecture also means we can size each site to your needs, quickly adding additional servers when needed or dropping them when not. It also gives us the ability to host our systems anywhere in the world including privately in your own secure AWS environment.
We can also offer clients a range of additional security measures including customizable control over the environment for HIPAA and GDPR compliance, enhanced access restrictions and individual monitoring.
Customizable Security Puts You in Control
Making Discovery Less Expensive
Smarter Pricing
Merlin’s cloud-native architecture is built to exploit the scale, elasticity and flexibility of the AWS cloud. It is the most advanced software delivery system available and supports a wide range of pricing options to fit your needs and your budget.
A key benefit of our software is the ability to spin up sites quickly when you need them and take them offline when you don’t. This allows us to reduce hosting fees when the site is offline. Pay one rate when you are actively using the system. Pay a reduced rate when the site is offline.
Cloud Utility Pricing: Turn the site on in the morning when the team is ready to begin. Turn it off at the end of the day when work is finished. Or schedule the site to operate only during business hours, turning itself off at night. Should the team need access after hours, turn it on (in minutes) and get going. Turn it back off once the team has finished.
Cloud Utility Pricing™ allows you to pay for what you need, when you need it.
